BeardedSteven Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Having really only hearing (and loving) Benji, would anybody say that Live at Biko is an essential live album to have? My store has like, 15 copies. I'd buy it and find out, but it's pretty expensive. I'm a HUGE fan of Benji, but had not been as obsessive of his back catalog as some here. That might be changing tho! But I dearly love Biko. Essential is hard to say. Very quiet subdued versions of most of Benji. I nearly like the Biko versions better and am glad I picked it up.

BeardedSteven Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 And for what it's worth since y'all are talking about it, my clear Benji plays just fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatGreenOne77 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Personally i wouldn't try to fix it. the record i fixed was a bargain bin find and a dime a dozen, so if i screwed it up there was no big loss. If you say your black copy sounds fine I will just pick one of those up somewhere. I prefer to use the black vinyl as my playing copy as often as possible, but I got my blue Benji through a trade, and since it was already opened I just listened to it. Thanks for the feedback guys! If anyone happens across an extra copy of Rock n' Roll singer, I would gladly accept help finding one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on board with this (huge fan of Benji/love the Biko versions). In particular, I love the version of "Carissa" on Biko. Not that the album version is in-your-face or anything, but the live version is so reserved and subtle that it just strikes me every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My store has like, 15 copies. I'd buy it and find out, but it's pretty expensive. Buy it. I got it yesterday from my local shop for $19.99. Listened to the whole thing this morning. Sounds fantastic.

tetsuodaironman Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'm not too sure to be honest, I'm just basing this off of Discogs comments and my copy, anybody else have the same problem? I think it was talked about in the Benji thread. The yellow one had this issue (I certainly heard it on my/your copy). I now have the clear and both records sound fine.

Benny Blanco Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Glad it's not just my hearing. I was looking at it while it was spinning as well & noticed how it looks to swing farther to one side. Is the center hole just off by just a bit? Do the black ones sound the same? I have/had a copy of all the colours. Yellow - Bad misalignment. Blue - misalignment (not quite as bad). Clear - fine Red - fine Black - sounds best to my ears (played on LP12) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
